Goodwill Industries of Upstate and Midlands South Carolina will be rolling out its Career Pathways model at the store located at 111 Highland Center Drive in Columbia as announced in a recent press release.
The program aims to connect participants with career paths that align with their interests. It offers 20 specialized training programs and classes in areas such as healthcare, transportation and logistics, skilled trades, and clean technology. These training programs are designed to provide certifications in high-demand, technology-focused sectors.
“Goodwill’s Career Pathways model is more than just a set of programs — it is a lifeline for those looking to build a better future,” said Monique McDaniels, Vice President of Community and Workforce Development for Goodwill Industries of Upstate and Midlands South Carolina. “We are committed to helping individuals not only find jobs but also discover careers they love and excel in.”
The Highland Center Drive location will be designated as a “Resource and Opportunity Center,” serving as a central hub for Goodwill’s career services in the Midlands area.
To showcase the new programs, Goodwill will be hosting an open house at the Resource and Opportunity Center on September 19, from 3 to 6 p.m.
